About

I am a remote ESL teacher with a strong background in English language teaching, both online and in-person. I currently reside in Japan and work as a full-time Foreign Language Teacher in a Japanese public high school, collaborating with Japanese Teachers of English (JTEs) to plan lessons, deliver communicative English activities, model pronunciation, and support students in developing speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. I tailor lessons to different proficiency levels and integrate engaging activities that emphasize practical communication and learner-centered outcomes.

Beyond my classroom roles, I have taught English online through platforms like Nova Kid and 51Talk, and I have contributed to community events as a freelance host and performer. I am excited to continue this journey as a remote ESL teacher, bringing dedication, adaptability, and a learner-centered approach to help students build confidence and real-world language skills.
